Geoffrey Brewer Poet Rhyme

A Rattling Rhyme

SHE’s COMING AGAIN!

There’s a chill in the air
There’s a word on the street
Be afraid have a care
Put the children to sleep 
She was gone, bells were tolled
But the body’s not cold
For she’s coming again
Yes she’s coming again

It was safe to suppose
She was due to be crowned
Then a young wizard rose
Had them all spellbound
With a look really cool
Like a kid from high school
But she came back again
Yes she came back again
 
Then she’d surely reside
In a white stately home
She’d the right, qualified
With two X chromosomes 
She’d be in with a song
What could ever go wrong
She was coming again
She was coming again

But an old wizard now
With a strange style of hair
Took the stage took a bow
And with her almost there
She was pipped at the post
Cross the states, coast to coast
She was numbing again
And succumbing again 

Without power came the crash
Sans connections she’d plied
Then the flow of the cash
 Disappeared, nearly dried
So she needs to dispense
With some new influence
So she’s coming again 
Yes she’s coming again

Feel the chill in the air
Hear the word on the street
Be afraid have a care
Put the children to sleep 
So you thought she’d depart
With a stake through the heart
No she’s coming again
Yes she’s coming again

Andrea Dietrich August 28, 2018 at 9:10 PM It actually sounds the way some people look at Hillary!!! Geoffrey Brewer August 29, 2018 at 3:50 PM Yes it does, although not literally ....not quite!

Andrea Dietrich August 28, 2018 at 9:09 PM It sounds political but at the same time it makes me think of a witch, a modern witch. I see the Brits are guessing something. I don't know enough about my own country's politics let alone England's to make a guess. But wow, this is GREAT writing . The rattling meter is really good! Congrats for your win.

Connie Marcum Wong August 28, 2018 at 6:32 PM Your entry was such an enjoyable read Geoffrey. I Love how you described Trump. This is extremely clever and deserving of your First Placement. Congratulations! : ) Geoffrey Brewer August 29, 2018 at 3:44 PM Thank you so much Connie.

CayCay Godwin August 26, 2018 at 5:44 AM You are going to give me nightmares! She must not come again. This is clever and I love its tosses and turns that create a delightful flow. Clever and engaging unlike she who cometh. Good luck in the contest and all else. All the best ... CayCay Geoffrey Brewer August 26, 2018 at 10:32 AM Sorry about the scare, CayCay. It may not happen mon ami, but prenez guard! Thanks for the support.

Michelle Faulkner August 12, 2018 at 5:53 PM Hi Geoffrey (love that spelling) this is grand, swept me along like a river, much luck in the contest! Geoffrey Brewer August 14, 2018 at 4:42 AM Many thanks, Michelle.

Wendy Watson August 12, 2018 at 3:31 AM This has such great musicality and atmosphere, Geoffrey! My guess is a certain lady in the political field!? I believe you have left 'again' off the end of the second verse in case you wanted to adjust it. I'm sure that this will tickle Nina's ossicles! Geoffrey Brewer August 12, 2018 at 4:00 AM You got it, Wendy. Thanks for your kind and helpful comment. I have made the correction.
